Casey Hushion (associate director of In the Heights) will direct the production that is currently selling tickets through May 13. Fat Camp has a book by Randy Blair and Timothy Michael Drucker, music by Matt roi Berger and lyrics by Blair.

The cast includes Carly Jibson as Daphne, a veteran of Broadway's Hairspray and Cry-Baby, who has been part of Fat Camp throughout its development. Also returning from the NYMF run are Cale Krise as Anshell, Kate Weber as Britta, Larry Owens as Darnell, Nancy Renée Braun and Michael Mendez.

Rock of Ages producers Carl Levin and Michael Minarik partner with The Dodgers to bring the musical to New York audiences. The team was also involved in a 2010 reading and a 2011 developmental staging at Cleveland's PlayhouseSquare. An earlier version was also presented during the 2009 New York Musical Theatre Festival, where the musical took the Best of Fest Award.
